In Taylor Armstrong's new book, Hiding From Reality, she talks all about the domestic abuse she endured while married to Russell Armstrong.

Russell, who committed suicide last summer, has been known since as the man from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills who beat and berated his wife.

And this book definitely isn't gonna help hide that!! But hopefully it will help other woman see the light and get out of their own abusive relationships!

In the book, she claims:

He would make comments when we were sexual and you know about my weight. No woman needs to be criticized in that moment - criticisms about having sex with me is like 'having sex with a skeleton.'

Icky!! No, no woman should ever be told something like, especially during sex!! But she also claims she didn't write it to smear Russell's image. She explains:

I love him to this day and miss him terribly. I got out way too late. I hope by others hearing the story they may get out sooner. When I wrote Hiding From Reality, I wanted it real and honest. Some of it was difficult to write.

Taylor also explains how verbal abuse can be worse than the physical kind sometimes:

I think you can see my eye has healed, but these things are going to stick with me a long time and sometimes, the emotional can hurt worse than the physical almost.

Oh man!! This is a never-ending saga!!

We wonder if we'll ever find out what was really going through his head before he hung himself on Mulholland Drive. There are so many theories out there… even conspiracy theories!!

Sigh… so sad all around. We really hope their daughter is doing okay through all of this!!

Stop posting this nonsense about this woman. This is not entertainment. It is sick. Who the hell writes a book right after someone dies? Who does she think she is kidding? She is in no position to help anyone. She is profitting from her husband's death, that is all. No one who has been through what she claims to have been through is healthy enough this soon after what happened to be offering advice. She needs severe counseling to make sure she doesn't make the same mistakes she has been making throughout her life. This book is very harmful to people who may actually think they are paying for decent advice. So sad.

Well, maybe if she ate once in a while she wouldn't feel like a skeleton. I feel terrible for her, but the man is not here to defend himself. How do we know what it true and what isn't. I've been in a relationship where I was physically and emotionally abused. I told friends and family right away. Why would she wait so long?

I'm sorry, but I don't believe a woman says. Her poor husband is dead now and can't defend himself. She is worried that people think she drove him to suicide. Maybe she did! She is a freak who needs to get out of the spotlight, focus on her Daughter and stay quiet.

……and I can't wait until your daughter is old enough to read and discovers that her fame whoring mother drove her father to suicide after publicly humiliating him…..continuously. Try and find some decency and get a real job.

This is just sad, if her husband just got up and left her I'm sure she'd be "LEAKING" a sex tape. I mean you don't slam a dead guy, come on. He's the father of her kid as well! I think she's got some serious mental problems if she thinks people are gonna like since she decided to release a tell book soon after her husbands passing.

I hope someone from his family can step in and stop this skank
Just think of what life has to be like for his children, since no charges were ever pressed. I doubt anything this whore would say
I really would love to see Gloria Allred get involved, sue the skank, sue that little weasel
Andy Cohen, and than sue the publisher

The only reason she wrote this book is to make some money. Russell left her broke with 50 people in line suing her. What do you expect? Desperate times calls for desperate measures. All her fake wealthy friends turned their back against her when she's down at her lowest. I'm sure she didn't want to write the book but life is expensive…especially in Beverly Hills.

amandadixon420 you have no idea what you are talking about. His "gay lover" business partner was not found hanging in the same house. He was found in a car with a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head .Get your facts straight know it all. As for the rest of you, are you guys really that bad at reading vibes from people? You guys are a con artists dream lol looking at Russell's eyes you could tell this man had issues and was a psychotic. I truly believe he was awful to her and hell, even his other wives had stated he was abusive. Its not like it was a shock.

No idea what the truth is. He's dead and can't defend himself. On Reunion Part 2, Brandi starts to recount Russell in his words regarding the threatening email he sent to Camille and Taylor tries do discount Camille. Maybe it would have done us all good to hear someone speak for Russell instead of against him?

Re: cladove – I'm so sorry to hear this. Please, remember that most people do not know nor understand the psychology behind abusive relationships. If you don't have the knowledge, unfortunately it's easy to judge. It looks very simple from the outside to most, while it in reality is extremely complicated. Don't let it get to you. What you and your mother know is what's important, not the ignorance of strangers. Much luck to you both.

She is disgusting.. and no offence but it probably is true. She looks lifeless all the time, like a wet blanket. Having sex with her is probably like sleeping with a dead fish. I bet She's paying perez to keep promoting her so she can get some book sales. She's having him post headlines about excerpts from her book so people will care.. lmao! she is really pathetic. Even the picture on the cover just screams lifeless… she looks like she has no soul. Who shops a book before the body even hits rigor.. I truly feel sorry for Russells two children as well as hers, i also find it funny that the mother of Russells two other children isn't speaking up… I mean, for the abuse to be as bad as she says it was, why was there no signs of it prior to recently… even her "friends" didn't believe her, and i still don't think they do. It should be illegal to print unsubstantiated allegations in print.

I have no life but I feel the need to comment on other peoples lives…If all these things actually happened to Taylor and now she is left to deal with HIS financial issues with a daughter to support then I say good for her, let her do what she needs to make money, I would do the same thing. Air all the dirty laundry and let the world know what a POS this guy was.

Re: cladove – People are ridiculously mean here, but it's no surprise. I'm sorry you had to deal with witnessing that. It's a very sad and complicated issue among couples that viewers from the outside wouldn't even begin to understand.

Re: zerimar65 – Oh, and having sex with her probably was like sex with a skeleton. That should be her cue to eat something. She should get some sort of a figure. For some reason she's focused on her stupid lips which look ridiculous.

I don't buy Taylor's woes. She has always had a "voice" and used it tell off Kim, Camille, Lisa, and Brandi. She could have left Russell but didn't want to give up her Beverly Hills life style. She blamed Camille for endangering her daughter, but the blame belongs on her. Taylor does whatever means spirited Kyle tells her to do. Kyle is so jealous of the other women and Taylor spits and stutters to agree with her. KUDOs to Adrienne, Lisa, Camille, and Brandi…..they. make the show.

If you look back at both seasons you can see that Taylor cant stand Russell. He even asked her at the BDay party if he could eat. She rudely told him to go eat. Taylor wasn't afraid of Russell. She was afraid of losing Russell's bank account. She admitted not knowing he was in financial trouble. She claims he was so controlling but she threw a 60,000 party. Russell bought his daughter a puppy. Taylor. dogged him for that on national TV.
Somethings not adding up right!!! Now she writes a book…come on Bravo, get rid of her.

There's no WAY her daughter is going to be OK. Her daddy committed suicide. He had shady business dealings at best and was an abuser at worst. Her mother is more interested in selling her book than making sure :a) the truth is told; b) her daughter is sheltered/safe during this time of what should be grief; c)actually doing something to help battered women.
She brings Kennedy to book signings. One report said that she had Kennedy sitting next to her as a kind of "sheild from haters" and drawing hearts around her mom's signature- on the book trashing her barely cold- dead father. So she is not sheltering Kennedy from all of her abuse allegations. She is bringing her into the thick of it.
For the same reason they say not to trash your ex in front of the kids after a divorce- she has taken it to a whole new level. Writing a book trashing Russell- which came out so quick makes you wonder if she started writing it before they cut the poor SOB down. But Kennedy is old enough to realize at least part of what's going on and she knows that she is Russell's child. She will think that if daddy was this monster that mommy's book describes- then I must be a monster too.
I feel soo bad for this child. I just wish Taylor would stop trying to make $$$$$ from her husband's suicide. It's sick.

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
